Aberdulais Tinworks and Waterfall

In 1584 Ulrich Frosse exploited the natural resources of Aberdulais to smelt copper ‘…far from the pryinge eyes of his competitors’.

And as water continued to cascade through the centuries, the industries continued to flow through time, and Aberdulais established its place as an industrial centre.
